Sadie Rose does something she knows is wrong to get something she really wants. She finds out that God will forgive her for it and He does. Her dad Caleb also fights against a problem. It is jealousy. He gets over it with God's help. Over all it is a good book. Many young people will enjoy it.

Christian messages of of God's unconditional love, forgiveness and redemption through His son, Jesus, are deftly woven into this story of prairie migration, as Sadie's family starts a new life in Western Nebraska. First book in a Prarie Adventure series by midwestern author Hilda Stahl, SADIE ROSE presents us with a young heroine--a spunky 12-year-old girl who suffers from self-imposed guilt about her Pa's death. She refuses to adjust to Ma's new husband or to enjoy the family lifestyle which the Lord has provided them all.

Sadie Rose, the middle of 5 children, may be the runt of the family in terms of size, but she has the courage and feisty will to survive and protect her own--including a mistreated pup whom she rescues from a vicious old man. This brute stalks her and attempts kidnapping and worse. (Since this book is for young readers, no one dies.) This story will hold the interest of pre-teen girls, for the external plot is interesting, while the Eternal truths are tenderly expressed to reinforce a young Christian's faith.

This is a christian-based childrens book.I read it as a kid and I was bored,but I was easily bored,always,when it came to books,and dearly devoted to Sweet Valley Twins!!!!!This is about Teddy-Jo and the fact that she is terrified to dive into the swimming pool in swimming class!(She shouldn't have to!)Eventually,it is her normally mean sister,Linda,who helps her by quoting from the bible that we are not meant to have spirits of fear.In other words we should just chill out and be happy.Cool!!
